Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

Hashirama Senju quickly stepped forward, took the ingredients, and placed them on the makeshift stove that had been set up.

The thought of enjoying delicious food soon made it impossible to suppress the smile on my face.

Tobirama gets to enjoy delicious food every day; finally, it's their turn to enjoy it too.

As for Tobirama?

Let him make do in the village.

While the two inside the cave were in high spirits, someone in the Hokage's office was feeling depressed.

"Where did that kid go?"

The secret police had practically turned the village upside down, but they still couldn't find any trace of Lianye.

This means he wasn't even in the village.

That kid clearly didn't accept any mission, so why did he suddenly leave the village?

That lazy man who would grumble and complain even when delivering food.

How could they possibly leave the village on their own initiative?!

He really couldn't understand this...

Chapter 44 Kid, You Just Wait (Flashback)

"Kid, why don't you stay?"

Madara Uchiha gazed at the dark surroundings outside and spoke in a deep voice.

It's not a good idea to leave so late at night.

It's not that I'm worried about his safety, it's just that if Lian Ye leaves tonight, there will be no one to make breakfast tomorrow morning.

Why not find an excuse to keep them here?

That way, we'll have a reason to let him stay tomorrow.

"Yes, Lianye!"

Hashirama Senju quickly agreed, putting his arm around his shoulder and gently persuading him.

"It will be past midnight by the time you get back to the village."

Lianye originally planned to return to the village after finishing lunch.

As a result, they insisted on keeping me for dinner.

It was already dark when we finished our work.

What they said made sense.

His half-baked Flying Thunder God technique couldn't support ultra-long-distance teleportation.

It was past midnight when we got back to the village.

That old bastard Tobirama Senju finished eating a long time ago, so he really doesn't need to rush back.

Let's stay here for the night.

We'll set off again tomorrow morning.

"it is good."

Upon seeing that Renya had agreed, Hashirama Senju immediately used Wood Release to create a wooden bed.

Tomorrow's meals are sorted out.

If they can keep Lianye here once, they can keep her here a second time, and a third time.

Tobirama has been enjoying delicious food for so many years.

What's wrong with letting them enjoy themselves for a few days?!

Madara Uchiha nodded in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Although he hadn't spent much time with Lian Ye, he had already noticed that the kid wasn't very intelligent.

With a little guidance and persuasion, they can definitely be persuaded to join the "Eye of the Moon" project in the future!

Not only did they have a chef with excellent culinary skills, but they also had a companion to help them realize their dreams.

The more he looked at Lian Ye, the more satisfied he became.

Madara Uchiha was determined to poach Renya from Tobirama Senju.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.

"Lord Hokage, we have not found any trace of Jonin Renya."

The secret agents, who had been searching all day, returned to report.

They searched the entire village but couldn't find any trace of Lianye.

This only means that the other party is not in the village.

"Okay, I see."

Tobirama Senju's face was grim, and he waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

Where did that kid go?

Going out without informing anyone, they really think they've grown up!

From noon until now, he has only eaten one soldier's ration pill.

I thought Lianye was only absent at noon, but I never expected her to be absent in the afternoon as well.

They disappeared for a whole day!

"Gurgle..."

My stomach started growling again.

Tobirama Senju sighed helplessly, opened a drawer, and took out a soldier's ration pill.

Well, I'll just eat this for now.

We'll have to settle accounts with that kid when he gets back!

He used to think that Lianye had no future staying at home all day, but now that she has suddenly left the village, she feels a little uncomfortable.

The main problem is that we're short one person to deliver the food.

Some people only learn to cherish something after they've lost it.

It seems like we can stop sending that kid on missions from now on. It's not bad to keep him at home and bring him food every day.

the next day.

"Uncle Hashirama, I really have to go."

After Renya finished making breakfast for the two of them, she was about to leave when Hashirama Senju grabbed her leg.

"Lianye, please don't go!"

He went to great lengths to get Ban to lure the person here, how could he possibly let them go so easily?

We must enjoy the delicious food for a while.

Otherwise, if we let Lianye leave like this, we might not have another chance like this.

"Uncle Hashirama, can you please stop messing around?"

If Madara Uchiha saw Hashirama pleading, he would definitely soften.

But Lian Ye wasn't buying it.

He was too busy going back to the village to bask in the sun to have time to stay in the cave.

It's one thing if there's no electricity or entertainment facilities.

The worst part is that there are mosquitoes everywhere at night!

I only stayed here for one night, and I got covered in mosquito bites.

Lian Ye had no intention of staying any longer to feed the mosquitoes.

"Lianye, please have pity on us."

Hashirama Senju cried and complained, his face streaked with tears.

“We live in the mountains and haven’t had any good food for a long time.”

"Could you stay one more day?"

Seeing his best friend's spineless behavior, Madara Uchiha silently turned his head to the side.

Although he wanted Lianye to stay, he wouldn't do something so undignified.

Fortunately, there were only the three of them in the cave.

If other people saw this, I would lose all face.

"alright."

Unable to bear Hashirama Senju's pleas any longer, Renya had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Since I've already stayed yesterday, what difference will it make if I stay today?

I can just sneak away tomorrow morning...

"Hehehe, I knew you couldn't bear to see me suffer."

Hashirama Senju immediately stood up, his face once again beaming with a smile.

Lian Ye: "..."

Seeing the change in his attitude made him realize that Hashirama was not as simple as he had imagined.

Who said Hashirama Senju was a naive and innocent person?

He's clearly a cunning and scheming boy.

It seems that Madara Uchiha was really deceived by the other party back then.

Also.

As the young patriarch of the Senju clan during the Warring States period, how naive could he possibly be?

They might be deliberately playing hard to get.

Lianye's gaze unconsciously shifted to Uchiha Madara.

I don't know if he actually knows or not.

Perhaps they knew.

After all, Madara Uchiha wasn't stupid; he could easily see through Hashirama's little scheme.

It can only be said that one party was willing to give and the other was willing to receive.

"Let's go catch some fish."

Hashirama Senju pulled the two away.

He was starting to miss the taste of the grilled fish that Lianye made.

Although he and Ban often ate grilled fish, they just couldn't make it taste like Renye's.

riverside.

Instead of using chakra, Hashirama Senju jumped into the water.

In his words, catching fish with bare hands is the only way to feel a sense of accomplishment.

Actually, it's just that life in the mountains is too boring, so this is the only way to pass the time.

Renya and Madara Uchiha did not go into the river; they sat on the bank and watched Hashirama in the water.

"Kid, you really don't want to work for me?"

Madara Uchiha really thought highly of this kid; if he could recruit him, he would definitely be a great helper.

"No need, Lord Madara."
